Is Carrie Bradshaw the true villain of Sex and the City? On this episode of In The Cut Podcast, host Rae Benjamin (The Witcher) sits down with showrunner, writer, and creator Ilana Peña (Diary of a Future President, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend) to break down the iconic episode "My Motherboard, My Self" (Season 4, Episode 8).
Rae and Ilana discuss how this classic SATC episode masters storytelling and character, and why it's a must-watch. Listen to pros as they analyze Carrie's actions toward Aidan, and how they reveal her deeper fears about commitment. The writers explore one of the most relatable grief scenes in TV history—the one moment that masterfully captures the complex emotions of loss without a single flashback. They also discuss why platonic love is the real heart of the show and how the series' most powerful moments aren't about men, but about the true friendship between the women. Finally, Ilana shares her journey from staff writer on Crazy Ex-Girlfriend to showrunner, and what it took to sell her own show and deal with imposter syndrome.
